Last evening, Ingrid Andress wowed the audience at the MLB Home Run Derby with her performance of the national anthem.
Many viewers felt her rendition was exceptional, perhaps even the best or worst ever.
One fan exclaimed on Twitter, “Wow! @IngridAndress actually did it, she united America #HRDerby.”
The artist, nominated for four Grammys, kicked off the event at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, with her memorable performance of “The Star Spangled Banner.”
From the first notes, it was evident that this version would be unforgettable.
Listen to it yourself.
After her performance, people shared many opinions.
In reference to a past performance by Fergie at the 2018 NBA All Stars Game, someone commented, “I think we all owe Fergie an apology.”
Another said, “Made Fergie sound like Whitney Houston.”
One harsh critic mentioned, “Worst National Anthem I’ve ever heard. Just disrespectful.”
Another suggested, “I hope Ingrid Andress stays off of social media for a while.”
A disappointed fan remarked, “I’m so sorry, I’m sure Ingrid Andress is a wonderful person, but that was one of the worst national anthems I’ve ever heard.”
It’s well-known that “The Star Spangled Banner” is a challenging song to perform. Perhaps venues should consider using a recorded version of one of the best renditions, like Whitney Houston’s, to avoid potential embarrassments.
